Today's Scripture

1. Why do the nations conspire
   and the peoples plot in vain?
2. The kings of the earth rise up
   and the rulers band together
   against the Lord and against his anointed, saying,
3. “Let us break their chains
   and throw off their shackles.”
4. The One enthroned in heaven laughs;
   the Lord scoffs at them.
5. He rebukes them in his anger
   and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,
6. “I have installed my king
   on Zion, my holy mountain.”
7. I will proclaim the Lord’s decree:
   He said to me, “You are my son;
   today I have become your father.
8. Ask me,
   and I will make the nations your inheritance,
   the ends of the earth your possession.
9. You will break them with a rod of iron;
   you will dash them to pieces like pottery.”
10. Therefore, you kings, be wise;
    be warned, you rulers of the earth.
11. Serve the Lord with fear
    and celebrate his rule with trembling.
12. Kiss his son, or he will be angry
    and your way will lead to your destruction,
    for his wrath can flare up in a moment.
    Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
    (Psalms 2: 1-12)
